Dancing Bacchante bearing a box 

Giovanni Battista Piranesi's etching, “Dancing Bacchante bearing a box”, depicts a woman with flowing robes in a dynamic pose, possibly symbolizing a Bacchante, a follower of the god Bacchus. The composition is framed by a simple rectangular border and a decorative frame beneath the main figure. The lower frame displays a vignette of a woman’s head surrounded by foliage and other decorative elements, hinting at a Roman-inspired theme. Piranesi, known for his architectural engravings and fantastical scenes, utilized the etching technique to create a delicate and detailed artwork that reflects the aesthetics of the 18th century.
